Within the older neighborhoods of Chillicothe, there are numerous older underutilized or vacant industrial structures that are located in close proximity to existing residences and/or smaller commercial uses. Although the reuse of these older structures is in the public interest, it is unlikely that many contemporary industrial uses can be attracted to these locations. Moreover, many traditional industrial uses may impose adverse impacts on nearby residential areas. In addition, these sites may contain environmental conditions that may limit future use potential.
